The Chemistry of Haloketones, Haloaldehydes and Haloimines (The Chemistry of Functional Groups)

This is the first title to be published in the new "Updates from the Chemistry of Functional Groups" series. These Updates will be based on selected chapters from the volumes of "The Chemistry of Functional Groups" series, making important chapters available to the individual. The selected chapters will be taken as they stand in the original volume and updated in an appendix appearing at the end of the text. In some cases, completely new material will be incorporated to improve the coverage of the particular topic. This volume is based on the original Supplement D, "The Chemistry of Halides, Pseudo-Halides and Azides". The Updates are designed for students, researchers and professional workers in industry and at academic institutions where organic synthesis and mechanistic organic chemistry is actively practised. An up-to-date treatise on heteroallylic halides (-haloketones, -haloaldehydes, and -haloimines). Presents recent research results concerning availability of the title compounds, their chemical properties and reactivity toward selected carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur nucleophiles, and their role in modern organic synthesis. Designed for students and researchers in the fields of organic synthesis and mechanistic organic chemistry, this volume contains updates to chapters first published as a supplement to the "Chemistry of Functional Groups" series on the chemistry of halides, pseudo-halides and azides.
